Buffalo Airways Contest

As part of the promotion of their final season of Ice Pilots, Buffalo Airways has donated a signed ball cap to be raffled off by the Museum. To enter, fill out a ticket at the Museum Gift Shop before October 27, 2014.

An RCAF Squadron was apparently the inspiration for the Buffalo Airway name. 429 Sqn has a bison as it’s badge, and some of the first Dakota’s bought by the airline were used by that squadron before being declared surplus. We haven’t been able to verify the story but it makes a great tale!

Comox Air Force Museum

The CAFM commemorates the role and history of 19 Wing (CFB/RCAF/RAF), documenting significant achievements in West Coast Military Aviation History.
Founded in 1982 as part of the Air Force Indoctrination School, CAFM was accredited as a stand-alone Canadian Forces Museum and officially opened its doors to the public on 12 September 1987.
